But don’t get too ahead of yourselves this time…

The couple were spotted dining outdoors with friends in Nerano on Wednesday, continuing to enjoy their summer sojourn in Italy. Nothing unusual for them, amazing food, friends, sunning on a yacht… What made these pics, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, exciting was the fact Vittoria was wearing a ring on THAT finger!

Not only that, the ring featured a massive rock — a mouth-watering, heart-shaped diamond. It got tongues wagging once again about Leo possibly popping the question! However, well… We’ll let you see the ring for yourselves first…

Yeah, we’re just not convinced, y’all! To us that looks like costume jewelry. Cute, for sure. But Leo is rich AND has taste. We’re guessing if and when he finally does propose it’ll be with a smaller, but far more dazzling gem. Just our semiprofessional opinion!

What do YOU think of Vittoria’s ring??

The post Leonardo DiCaprio's Model GF Wearing Diamond Ring On THAT Finger! However... appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The acclaimed director’s 1997 hit movie Titanic is one of the most successful films of all time, even 27 years after its release. And everyone involved gets their fair share… Even child stars with barely any screen time!

You remember the little Irish boy in the film who met a sad fate with his mother and sister as the ship sank? You know, the one who said the unforgettable line, “What are we doing, Mommy?” Well, that little boy is all grown up now — and still cashing in on the movie!

During a resurfaced interview with Business Insider, child actor Reece Thompson, who was just 5-years-old when he broke hearts in the film, revealed he STILL receives residual checks for his performance! The now 31-year-old told the outlet:

“It’s weird because it’s not present in my mind anymore. It’s not like, ‘Oh, when am I going to get a new Titanic check?’ When it happens, it’s like, ‘Oh, cool, an extra $100.’”

Dang!

He revealed that the checks used to be bigger around the height of the film’s home release, sometimes in the “low thousands.” And over the years he figures he’s made… $30,000!

OMFG! If an extra with such little to do in the movie has reaped that much, just imagine how much Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have made…

Wild!

The post <i>Titanic</i> Child Star Reveals Just How Much He's Made From Movie In 27 Years appeared first on Perez Hilton.

As Perezcious readers will recall, the 37-year-old actor’s career on the big screen came to a screeching halt in 2021 when he was accused of “violently” raping and “mentally, emotionally, and sexually” abusing ex Effie Angelova. Other women came forward with similar allegations, claiming Armie had cannibalistic fantasies and BDSM preferences. That same year, his former lover Courtney Vucekovich even told Page Six that the Gossip Girl alum allegedly “wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it.” Yeesh!

Armie has constantly denied any wrongdoing, maintaining all his relationships were consensual. Following a two-year investigation into Effie’s allegations, the Los Angeles Police Department chose not to charge him with sexual assault or any other crimes. Since then, The Social Network star has talked about the allegations made against him. And he apparently still has a lot more to say about it!

On Friday, Armie appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Friday to talk about the sexual assault and cannibalism accusations in depth. Piers Morgan wasted no time getting into the alarming claims, as asked flat out in the first few seconds of the interview:

“Let’s first of all address the elephant in the room. Are you a cannibal?”

Damn! He got straight to it! Armie’s response? He said:

“You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to have actually eaten someone.”

When asked if he had ever “eaten any human flesh” before, the Call Me by Your Name star once again denied it, saying:

“No. Not a question I’d ever thought I’d have to answer by the way. But no, never.”

Hmm. Armie then went on to deny the other accusations – specifically the ones of sexual assault and abuse made by Effie. Of the affair they had while he was married to now ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, he said:

“This was a very intense affair, very sexually charged, between two people with very similar proclivities and kinks. Any of those conversations that we had inside of that relationship, when you take them outside of that context and put them into broad daylight, it doesn’t look so good. You know, different people have different sexual fantasies. And there’s a very broad spectrum of sexuality, and people are allowed to engage with their own sexuality however it fits them and what they do.”

He added that he thinks the cannibalism rumors were “born out of a desire, to sort of like, ‘I want you so completely’, and ‘I want you so totally’ that it’s almost like ‘I want to eat you.’” What?! Elsewhere in the interview, Armie addressed the reports that he got some help from Robert Downey Jr. amid the massive scandal. As you may recall, Vanity Fair reported that the Marvel actor allegedly paid for the Death on the Nile star’s nearly six-month stint at a Florida rehab facility as he was struggling with drug, alcohol, and sex issues. When asked about the support from RDJ, Armie set the record straight:

“No, he did not. He did not pay for me to go to rehab. I don’t want to bring anyone else into my situation. There are a number of people who have been extremely helpful, and I’m incredibly grateful.”

That being said, the Oppenheimer actor was a huge help in other ways. Armie explained that Robert was there for him “in the way where anyone in Hollywood who suffers from any sort of addiction issues — whether it be alcohol or process addiction or drugs — decides to get sober, that guy will find you, and he will help you,” adding:

“It’s amazing.”

He also got some advice from him. Armie claimed Robert told him during the controversy:

“‘Sit down, shut up, everything is going to be OK.’”

Other celebrities, on the other hand? They weren’t as helpful to Armie as Robert. He noted that his other former co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Julia Roberts never reached out to him. However, he isn’t worried about “the people who didn’t contact me.” Instead, he wants “to focus on the people who did, who showed their support” – like Robert, Lone Ranger co-star Johnny Depp, and Challengers director Luca Guadagnino. The filmmaker, who worked with Armie on Call Me by Your Name, has “been vocally supportive, which is something that I could not appreciate more,” he told Piers. Ultimately, Armie has no hard feelings toward anyone who hasn’t supported him through all this:

“At the same time, I’m also well-aware that it is a precarious situation right now, and anyone who vocalizes support comes under fire. I understand that my situation was inflammatory, and anyone who gets too close might also light on fire.”

Wow…

We wonder what Effie, Paige Lorenze, and the other women who bravely came forward with these accusations have to say about all his comments. Watch the entire interview (below):

The post Armie Hammer Denies Cannibalism Claims, Shuts Down Rumor Robert Downey Jr Paid For His Rehab, & Says He Had ‘Very Sexually Charged’ Affair With Rape Accuser! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

The new BBC documentary Like, Follow, Trafficked: Insta’s Fake Guru just exposed the Instagram influencer’s wicked ways with several victims speaking out. It even included Kat’s first interview since the legal drama began! According to the outlet, suspicions about the model were first raised publicly in 2022 when two young Brazilian women went missing. Their families reached out to the FBI, which launched a search to find them. All they knew was that they were with the wellness influencer — and hadn’t been easy to contact for months.

After her arrest in 2022, Kat spent more than 18 months in jail. Earlier this month, a judge sentenced her to eight years in prison for subjecting one of those women to human trafficking and slavery. It’s believed she was luring girls to the US for sexual exploitation. And now more than 20 women have come forward with claims they were scammed or exploited by the model — with possibly more victims still out there! Jeez!

Speaking out in the doc, a woman named Ana said she first stumbled across Kat’s popular IG page in 2017. Kat had come from an impoverished town in Brazil and was now famous for her modeling gigs and hanging out with Hollywood A-listers — an American dream that attracted many of her followers. Torres had also published an autobiography called A Voz (The Voice) and was seen on several shows talking about her spiritual powers and ability to make predictions. Ana told the BBC Eye Investigations and BBC News Brasil teams:

“She seemed like she had overcome violence in her childhood, abuse, all these traumatic experiences. […] She was on the cover of magazines. She was seen with famous people such as Leonardo DiCaprio. Everything I saw seemed credible.”

The model used her fame and so-called abilities to start up a wellness website and subscription service where she promised clients “love, money and self-esteem that you always dreamed of.” This included self-help videos on relationships, business, wellness, and more. People could then pay an extra $150 for personal one-on-one consultations where she promised to solve their problems.

Kat’s NYC roommate at the time, Luzer Twersky, alleged that she “started going off the deep end” after some Hollywood pals introduced her to the hallucinogenic drug ayahuasca. He also believed she was a sugar baby, claiming wealthy and powerful men were paying for the apartment they shared.

Using her money and influence, Kat started to psychologically isolate her most die-hard clients and followers, often luring them to come stay with her. Take Ana, for example. She was studying in Boston in 2019 when Kat asked her to move to NY to be her live-in assistant, taking care of her animals, cooking, laundry, and cleaning for $2,000 a month. Ana ultimately agreed — and it was a nightmare!

The house was not only “really dirty” but she had to stay by her boss’ side practically 24/7, including talking to her while she was in the shower because the influencer didn’t like to be alone. She’d only get a few hours of sleep on a sofa covered in cat urine and would often hide out in the building’s gym to snag a little more rest. She declared:

“Now, I see that she was using me as a slave… she had satisfaction in it.”

WTF.

Ana quickly felt “stuck” and like she didn’t “have a way out,” made worse since she allegedly was never paid and didn’t have money or a job to move back to Boston (since she’d given up her university housing). She idolized Kat — now she believes she was “one of her first victims of human trafficking.”

When Ana tried to confront her boss, Kat allegedly grew aggressive, triggering Ana’s own past with domestic violence. Thankfully, she was able to escape after three months by moving in with a new boyfriend. But when she heard about the women reported missing in 2022, she stepped in to help (despite alleged threats that Kat would kill her).

Speaking of those women, the FBI was on the hunt for Desirrê Freitas, a Brazilian woman living in Germany, and Brazilian Letícia Maia. At this point, Torres was living in Austin, Texas with her husband Zach. Desirrê, Letícia, and a third woman the outlet referred to as Sol moved in to live with the social media star, and they were introduced on Kat’s social media platforms as part of her “witch clan.” Per the outlet’s investigation, at least four other women had been persuaded to live with Torres but pulled out.

Via the documentary and her memoir, @Searching Desirrê, Desirrê claimed she was given a plane ticket after Kat revealed she was experiencing suicidal thoughts and needed support. Letícia, meanwhile, was just 14 when she started having life-coaching sessions with the model before she was convinced to move to the US via an au pair program that she later dropped out of… to live and work with the so-called guru. Sol claimed she moved in after becoming homeless and agreed to host tarot readings and yoga classes. Within weeks, everything got so, so much worse.

Desirrê was allegedly pressured into working at a local strip club. If she didn’t obey, she’d be forced to pay Kat back for everything (flights, housing, furniture, even the “witchcraft” she performed). Believing the life coach had real magical powers, Desirrê went along with it. Her boss at the club confirmed she worked extremely long hours, every day of the week.

The women also had to follow strict rules in the home, such as getting permission to leave their rooms (even to use the bathroom). Sol said:

“It was very difficult to, you know, get out of the situation because she holds your money. […] It was terrifying. I thought something could happen to me because she had all my information, my passport, my driving licence.”

Sol realized she needed to escape after allegedly overhearing a phone call in which Kat told a client she must work as a prostitute in Brazil as “punishment.” She was able to get out with the help of an ex-boyfriend.

Sadly, Desirrê — who had dyed her hair blonde to match Kat’s at this point — was then pressured into becoming a sex worker. She initially refused, but Kat took her to a gun range the next day, scaring her into submission. Kat’s husband allegedly kept guns in the house that were regularly featured on IG Stories, too. In her book, Desirrê said she was panicked about this new endeavor and what could happen to her. She was also forced to sleep on the streets some nights if she didn’t meet her earning quota for the day and faced threats from Kat that she would be reported to the police if she ever talked about wanting to stop (prostitution is illegal in Texas).

This leads us to September 2022 when friends and family took to the internet to seek answers. Desirrê claimed her phone contacts had been blocked, making it impossible for her to contact her loved ones. She was also so brainwashed at this point, she did anything Kat asked without question.

As the FBI investigation picked up and more people became aware of the controversy, Kat moved the group to Maine. The women denied they were being held captive and demanded in IG videos released at the time that people stop searching for them. But authorities were working hard behind the scenes. Per BBC, a Homeland Security agent had been tipped off by a police officer, who had managed to FaceTime Torres to check on the women. Kat could be heard saying on video:

“He will start asking questions. Guys, they are full of tricks. He’s a detective, be very careful. For God’s sake, I’ll kick you out if you say anything. I’ll scream.”

Yeesh.

In November 2022, the officers convinced Kat to bring the women in for a welfare check at Franklin County Sheriff’s Office in Maine, where officers were immediately concerned and saw signs of human trafficking. Kat was deported that month (and arrested in Brazil) and the women were returned home safely to Brazil by December. Wow.

In her book, which was published in December 2023, Desirrê reflected:

“I’m not fully recovered yet, I’ve had a challenging year. I was sexually exploited, enslaved and imprisoned. I hope my story serves as a warning.”

In April, BBC was able to sit down with Torres in her first interview since being in prison while she still awaited the verdict of her trial for her crimes against Desirrê. Showing little remorse, she said:

“When I was seeing the people testifying, they were saying so many lies. So many lies that at one point, I couldn’t stop laughing. […] People are saying I am a fake guru, but at the same time, they are also saying that… ‘She is a danger to society because she can change people’s mind with her words.’”

When confronted with evidence against her, she grew more upset, saying:

“You choose to believe whatever you choose to believe. I can tell you I’m Jesus. And you can see Jesus, or you can see the devil, that’s it. It’s your choice. It’s your mind.”

And when she left, she threatened one of the journalists, saying she “didn’t like her.” Yikes!

Holy smokes!

Now, not everyone would be cool with seeing their partner all over another person like this – even if it was for a job! But Leo apparently isn’t sweating over Vittoria’s hot shoot with The White Lotus hottie! He is an actor after all! He films steamy scenes all the time, so he knows this was strictly just a job for the model. A source told Dailymail.com on Friday:

“The steamy interactions that Vittoria is having with Theo have no bearing on her relationship with Leo, they both know it is work and it is a complete non issue.”

In fact, the Titanic star is thrilled Vittoria’s career is doing so well! Another insider insisted:

“Leo is not the least bit bothered by Vittoria’s photo shoot. He supports her career and he loves to see her succeed. She was incredibly successful before dating Leo and this is what she does.”

So, no, her spicy photoshoot with Theo won’t cause Leo to break up with her. Vittoria’s age, on the other hand? We’ll see! Perezcious readers know the Oscar winner has a history of dumping women once they turn 25 years old. At this time, the runway star is 26 as of last month — over his alleged age limit! One would think Leo would be ending their relationship by now. However, that is not happening anytime soon, at least so says the Dailymail.com insider! They claim the couple “love” each other, saying:

“Regarding her turning 26 and being out of Leo’s range, that is just ridiculous. They are in love and her age does not matter to him at all. Before he met her he was looking for a mature love and he has found just that. They are very happy together.”

Hmm. Again, we’ll see how long Leo and Vittoria last now that she has turned 26. But given his track record? If we had to guess, they will be one of the many celebs to head to splitsville this year! Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Drop ’em in the comments!

Tobey Maguire, who is now 49 years old btw, was seen with a model and actress named Lily Chee. In pics they looked very couple-y, with Tobey’s hand on Lily’s backside as they left together. Which would be steamy and exciting, hot new couple alert, etc. except… she’s just 20 years old. That is one hell of an age gap.

If you don’t know Lily yet, you may have seen her playing Elektra in Daredevil. Well, sort of. She played YOUNG Elektra in the flashbacks. On the recent Netflix show, not the Ben Affleck movie that came out around the time Tobey was Spider-Man. So hey, they’re both Marvel alums, that’s something they have in common… Just very different generations.

So yeah, 49 and 20 is a BIG age difference. And unlike his friend Leo, remember Tobey actually did settle down once upon a time. In fact he got married and divorced — but not before having a couple kids. But that was a long time ago. His daughter Ruby is… yeah, pretty close. She’s 17 years old. She could be a classmate of Lily’s. Oof.

In that context it’s really hard to root for them as a couple, you know? What do YOU think, Perezcious readers?? Does this pairing give you the ick?

The post It Appears Tobey Maguire Is Dating A 20-Year-Old! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

OK, let’s rewind…

Trav made a big romantic move surprising Taylor Swift at her final Dublin concert on Sunday night. It was a grand gesture because he had been back in LA for a friend’s wedding. However, he wasn’t throwing rice all weekend.

On Friday, per DeuxMoi, the Kansas City Chiefs star was spotted partying at the celeb hot spot known as The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood. Going out to bars solo is one thing… only a small fraction of fans think she doesn’t trust him enough for that. But the potentially more worrying thing is the company he was keeping. Trav was apparently hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tristan Thompson of all people! Why would that be an issue? Well…

Video: Did Julia Roberts Get Too ‘Handsy’ With Travis At Eras Tour Show?? Swifties Say…

Look, neither of those guys has the best track record with women. Leo goes through them like cartons of milk, always keeping an eye on that expiration date. It’s pretty ridiculous how long he’s been keeping it up.

Tristan… Oof, Tristan. The man was busted cheating on Khloé Kardashian we don’t even know how many times for sure, but over and over. The stories we’ve heard… cheating on Valentine’s Day, with more than one woman at a time… And then of course there was the infamous party where he took everyone’s cell phones and then Kylie Jenner‘s bestie Jordyn Woods showed up and started straddling him. We mean… if you aren’t up to date on that one, you must be new here! Welcome and ENJOY.

Anyway, these were the guys Trav was partying with until the wee hours. Per the gossip gatherer, they didn’t leave together, but all headed out of the club around 1:30 a.m.

Apparently the usually extroverted Travis was trying to hide this particular exit from paparazzi. He was seen ducking down in the back seat of an SUV driven by his pal. Not the best sign.

If they were all hanging out like Deux suggests, that’s not the best sign. We mean, would you want YOUR man hanging with those guys?? We’ve seen a few folks post their concerns — though as protective as Swifties are, we expected more tbh.

But to be fair, there are no pics from inside the club, it’s possible it was a coincidence. Like we said, it’s a celeb hot spot. Maybe they were just there at the same time, maybe he was just being polite and saying hi. If they were hanging out, would you see this as a red flag? We mean, he did rush right back to Tay less than 48 hours later, which wasn’t easy considering the distance. What do YOU think, Perezcious readers??
